WSB is more about laughing at themselves rather than trying to amuse or offend someone. WSB doesn’t care much about so called “normies”, they have never attacked anyone outside of wsb and labels don’t spread outside of wsb either.

WSB never had nihilistic worldview, there’s plenty of people supporting each other, there’s regular donations to charities, and etc.

WSB is just a tongue-in-cheek ridicule of the finance world, that’s it. Attempts to see some specific class of people lurking there is just not true at all and mostly people project their views on the finance world onto WSB as well while it’s a completely different thing.
Help: AdSense bot misdiagnosed my traffic, no way to contact Google
My website has a community of 500,000 users (all opted in), and I wanted to test AdSense as a monetization strategy. I registered, put up ads, and a week or so later I sent out an email to my list and had ~50,000 visitors to the page. $X,XXX revenue later, Google locked the account for "invalid traffic". I'm 99% sure the cause of this problem is that I went from 0-50,000 visitors in 24 hours (because I sent an email to my list) but there's no human in this review process. Is there someone here at Google I can reach out to and explain the situation in more detail? It's been nearly 2 months (the review was supposed to take 1 month maximum) and the account is still limited. Thanks!
I'm gonna have to disagree here. Sometime back in season 2 or 3 they had a shot where a rocket engine's flame cone passed through a girder and it lit up due to the change in temperature. I mean, that's borderline nerd pornography.

The entire state of Georgia. where Guiliani alledged that votes were "switched" by Dominion machines, were in fact hand counted and affirmed the machine-counted tally.

Even after the hand-count clearly confirmed that the machines had not switched any votes, Guiliani spread the same lie. This is actually documented in the suit.

Mind you, it is not that the vote-tally machines leave a paper audit trail. The vote-tally machines work by scanning the actual paper ballots.

Which is the tell that Trump didn’t believe his own claims of vote fraud. Bear in mind he pulled exactly the same stunt in 2016 claiming massive vote fraud but when he won never mentioned it again until 2020.

If he’d actually believed there was vote fraud or a chance of it, he would have done something about it. Investigations, hearings, technical audits, best practices and standards. Statistical analysis to identify issues (as against the analyses that do happen that show insignificant fraud). He had 4 years to sort this out. You’d think it would be one if his top priorities.

Of course none of that happened because the whole show is entirely performative. In fact doing anything about it would take his excuse away, because if he addressed vote security he couldn’t blame vote security issues on anyone else.
Yes, the original Mt Rainier experiment in 2005 caught the attention of Stephen Hawking and I was asked to repeat the experiment for his PBS/BBC TV series in 2016. It was mid-winter up here in PNW so we used Mt Lemmon in Arizona instead:

A skilled liar would never for a moment reveal that they did not truly believe what they were saying, not even in private correspondence. Even in typical, not overtly evil companies, the saying "write for the subpoena" is passed around as advice for would-be upfront communicators.

Still, if criminals never made mistakes the justice system would convict almost nobody of anything.

IANAL but "they should have known" doesn't follow from how they market themselves as a business unless it's a licensed profession. It's not uncommon for defendants to completely contradict their previous public statements under threat of a lawsuit like all the Fox News lawsuits where their lawyers win by claiming that it's an entertainment channel and their viewers should know better [1]. Beyond that, one can easily argue that political appointments and executive positions rarely deal with the nitty gritty details, instead providing value through things like political connections and existing business relationships.

If you could connect to existing rowing machines and have the programs display on a laptop or tablet, we would definitely give it a serious look!

Not at all, it's actually the opposite. Security by obscurity is a terrible way of securing software since once someone backward-engineers it, you're hacked. Instead, if you open source it, all security researchers will be able to audit the code and be paid bounty money if they find bugs (and believe me, they will find bugs).

a lot of theory and conjecture about sat-to-sat laser relays has been published by people (and youtube videos made, etc), but many of these theoretical topologies are dependent on plane-to-plane communications which will be difficult to aim and maintain links on.

if you google 'starlink train' and look at some videos, when a batch of 60 starlink satellites is launched ,they're all at the same orbital inclination. they remain at the same inclination but as the weeks go past after their launch, they are spread out to follow each other at several hundred km spacings. but they're still following each other in what is basically a strung out conga line of satellites. communications between forward/rear satellites in the same batch should not be nearly as difficult to aim.

what would be difficult to aim and maintain links on would be cross-plane links between two different sets of satellites, with very high differing relative velocities.

You sir, more than my introversion and social anxiety, more than COVID-19, have convinced me I should never leave my house again. Ever.
Not quite. In order for a laser sat to talk to another sat, the second sat needs to also have laser comms hardware on it. Given that these were the first 10 to boast of such hardware, initially they'll only be talking to each other. Over time, as Starlink pitches more sats into orbit with laser comms, they will have more and more peers to talk to.

As the sister comment implies though, Starlink sats are in low Low-Earth-Orbit (LEO) so they experience non-zero drag from the atmosphere. This slows them down, causing them to gradually fall back to Earth, creating a natural expected service lifetime for each satellite in orbit.

So the expectation is that SpaceX will have to continually put up more and more replacements indefinitely as older sats decay and burn up in the atmosphere. These 10 laser sats are just the latest among a string of sats that are yet to come online with newer and better capabilities.

You could also go the route of using Backblaze for storage and Cloudflare for delivery. You'll pay $1.25 for the same 250gb ($0.005/gb) and get free bandwidth through CF.
My understanding is it's tough to beat point to point microwave arrays for directness in a lot of cases, they're already pretty close to the straightline path between some locations. The same is basically true for the longer range low bandwidth links that curve around the Earth.

Starlink is at a disadvantage because fundamentally it's pathing across a sphere with a larger radius so even when the path is direct across the Starlink cluster it still has to traverse a longer distance than the equivalent path on the ground. Adding to that the path won't always be directly across the surface of the constellation, depending on where you are and where the destination is you'll find some pockets where the link has to zig zag across the constellation slightly adding to the additional link distance. This [0] isn't necessarily a perfect representation but it does show how starlink's linking may work and how it's not a perfect net. It also doesn't account for the acquisition times for new laser links which were on the order of 20 seconds in another laser sat link test.

That part seems bizarre. Surely he ought to still be culpable is he said false things with the intention to damage Dominion, even if he can convince the court that he believed the things he said. Unless, of course, you're talking about an insanity defense or a claim of provocation, but those a very different matter, and I highly doubt that's a viable route.
The US DoD and Soviets, Russians somewhat solved this problem by putting molniya/tundra orbit communications satellites into orbit for narrowband data and voice, text comms. Has been a thing for 35+ years.

But there has been nowhere near enough money available to do something like set up a pair of molniya orbit satellites with long apogee dwell times over the center of antarctica.

They're a rough approximation compared to carrying through both accuracy and precision information and doing a full error analysis. Most of the time they're good enough, but sometimes you really do need to know that. EG some widget is 56mm +3µm/-500µm, that's very different from just saying it's 56mm. Significant figures ignore the actual error distribution.
I have verified this experimentally.
